I live in Canada, the "frozen north". We cannot bury our dead in the winter months. My daughter, Danielle died Dec. 2, 2012. Her interment is this coming Tuesday. We will bury her. I am struggling to maintain strength for the ceremony. I feel like I am on a downward slide. It will be so hard. And so final.

My heart is broken.

You'll know when you get to the point of no more questions. It takes a while, but you'll know. It comes with acceptance. At first the acceptance part comes, and goes. Then one day you realize that no matter how many questions go unanswered, you just stop wondering. At least that's how it worked for me. I began to realize that no matter how many questions or would've, should've, could've things I felt I either had to believe or not. I have pushed the faith thing back and forth for a long time. Even in my deepest anger, and pain I have come to realize that for me God is here. I hear, and see him in many different ways. I feel his presences in good times. and in bad. At first I thought I believed because I had nothing else. I needed to believe to survive. Now after everything I know in my heart that he cries with me. God smiles when I smile. He hears my prayers. I believe this because I am still here. I can still love, and be loved. Best of all I have found the laughter once again. Things don't happen because I want them, or I think I need them. They happen when God knows it's the right time, and the right place for things to happen to me. I never trusted this in my whole life until now. When I am quiet not only in voice, but in my heart I feel God. I feel my sweet boys laughter, and I see their smiles. It's not always like this. I know I will always have days of sadness, anger, and questions, but the days when my heart are at peace all of the bad stuff goes away. I finally understand the words, To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven. Many of you are so new to this journey, but your time will also come. I wish for all of you Peace in your heart.
